US-SPACE-NEWHORIZONS-PLUTO
(FILES) This artist's concept obtained December 1, 2014 courtesy of NASA/Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory/Southwest Research Institute (JHUAPL/SwRI), shows the New Horizons spacecraft as it approaches Pluto and its three moons in summer 2015. NASA’s New Horizons spacecraft has travelled 3,106,844,378 miles (5 billion km) and is nearing the end of its nine-year journey to Pluto. On January 25, 2015 New Horizons begins photographing the mysterious, unexplored, icy world once deemed a planet. The first pictures will reveal little more than bright dots — New Horizons is still more than 99,419,020 miles (160 million km) from Pluto. But the images, taken against star fields, will help scientists gauge the remaining distance and keep the baby grand piano-sized robot on track for a July flyby. = RESTRICTED TO EDITORIAL USE / MANDATORY CREDIT: "AFP PHOTO HANDOUT-NASA/Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory/Southwest Research Institute"/ NO MARKETING - NO ADVERTISING CAMPAIGNS – NO A LA CARTE SALES/DISTRIBUTED AS A SERVICE TO CLIENTS=
